Increasing the fuel cycle length of a PWR by means of a homogeneous uranium, thorium and plutonium fuel design
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)In this study a new homogeneous fuel pellet was designed for a Pressurized Watercooled Reactor (PWR), aimed at increasing its fuel cycle length. The standard 4.5 wt. % Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) fuel pellet of the South ... -
Math hydrogen catalytic recombiner: engineering model for dynamic full-scale calculations
(Elsevier, 2018)To protect a hermetic enclosure and the equipment and systems of a reactor installation housed in it from damage caused by the ignition (explosion) of hydrogen, most nuclear power plants with pressurized water reactors are ... -
Steam generator thermal-fluid simulation using a coupled Flownex and RELAP5/mod4.0 approach
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)The steam generator (SG) is one of the biggest structural components in a nuclear power plant (NPP), and can in many respects be seen as the heart of the system. It functions as a heat exchanger between the primary and ...
